    Its more about how we cyberpunk fans finds this awsome, and then feeling a bit guilty when we remember that this guy would probably rather have his old hand back.

    The first season of B5 might be a bit drab here and there( especially the pilot, lol gorilla bartender), but it does important work building up plot and setting.
    If you can get through the first season(though i didnt have any problems :) ) you'll love the rest.

    If that's so...i really pity you, from what i get here its WAY to much allready.

    I actually remember the decline, its mostly brough in by making everything seasonal series.

    Scrapyard challenge and Mythbusters( as much as i love them) i think started the trend.

    Discovery focus alot on history, just so that is said, but I prefered its format way back then, it was miniseries content, documentaries made with one scope in mind made three episode of a certain topic then moved on.

    Not season upon seasons of fucking crabfishing.

    A more dramatic/human focus could be decent for a stargate spinoff, alas the dose makes the poison.

    SGU lost all of its fantastical aspect necessary for a sci-fi.

    B5 may have mediocre acting and dialouge, but it makes it up in plot and overall writing....SGU tries to be great in the former, but they just tried to hard, and couple with the annoying cinematography and pacing, its just unbearable.

    Heh, my lecturer said the same when i asked if there was any point in going through the chapter of unit conversion in our physics programming textbox(that is we program implementation of physics not...rewrite the laws of nature).

    "Nah, its obvious for us."

    Though the American text book was pretty reasonable, and dealt with metrics for the most part.

    No you just use different kind of euphemism TOTALLY LEGIT!

    not buying your "only targeting muslim extremists" though

    First off...in the grand scheme of things..THEY ARE IRRELEVANT....they neither got the size to provide any dangerouse demographics...but im guessiong your buying the "Silent majority approval" bollocks.

    Thing is, im being awfully cheeky here, im probably being unfair to you, but i get to this point when someone spout that muslim extremists is the most dangerous thing on earth, so im guessing your only being a little "PC" in your rhetoric to get approval, "get the muslim EXTREMIST" sounds much more agreeable then "get the muslims".

  15. Re:I'll believe it when I see it... on Blender 2.57 Released — and It's Easy To Use! · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I thought the same about 3D max but less so about Maya(which was the first 3D modelling program i ever tried)

    3D modelling programs are so feature rich, any gui will seem counter intiutive in some degree.

    Its really about practice, i spent maybe 3 months toying with blender and i felt i had a pretty good feel for it.
    But when i first started it looked like a complete mess...then again i had the same feeling regarding 3Dmax...the difference was my encounter with 3D max wasnt very rigorous.

    But really....if you know the graphics theory, know shader and light theory, that goes a long way, most people experimenting with 3D does not...and hence are bound to find the GUI unintuitive.
